Japanese Fans Scream For Their Taiwanese Idols At Asia Music Summit

While Korean and Japanese pop stars already broke into the Chinese music market, C-pop singers are making their move to be part of the K-Pop/J-Pop industry. Recently singers from record company Avex Ariel Lin, Joe Cheng, Danson Tang, Eddie Peng, etc. gathered together and performed the first time in Japan at "Asia Music Summit" held in Tokyo.

Tickets sold out within 3 days and the concert attracted more than 2,000 fans to attend. On-screen couple Ariel and Joe, who built popularity in Japan with idol drama "It Started With A Kiss," performed together on stage and sang theme song of "Love or Bread"--"The Taste of Bread." Their appearance and intimate actions caused fans to scream their lungs out. It seems Joe was the most popular, because whenever his photo showed up, fans would scream and shout immediately. Ariel  and Joe sang 6 songs in total.

All the artistes didn't need a translator to communicate with fans. They all practiced hard before the show. Eddie kept asking fans in Japanese "I'm very handsome right"; Danson also tried hard to social with fans in Japanese.

Danson Tang Celebrates 26th Birthday With Fans

Danson Tang turned 26 recently. Around 400 fans from Korea, Hong Kong, Italy etc came to Taipei yesterday to celebrate their idol's birthday. Danson secretly practiced piano and played a song he composed <<灰色河堤>>. However, he worked out too much, causing inflammation on his right hand. But he didn't want to disappoint fans so he continued to play piano. He was nervous that he "shook 10 times every second."

Danson was moved to see fans are still supporting him over these years. He didn't mind interacting closely with fans, even acted out mini dramas with them. School started recently and some fans came in their uniforms. Danson reminded them to study more and won't allow them to follow celebrities by skipping classes.

Danson made his wishes: good health, continue to stay on the stage and have a stable financial base, give better life to mother. As for the last wish, he kept it in secret. Others asked whether it is related to love? He said mysteriously: "Of course, you will know by looking at my English name." Everyone was confused and he explained he is a "single Tang" [Danson sounds like Dan Sheng, which means single in Chinese] and wants to fall in love.

Fans gave him many types of gift. Besides cakes and birthday peaches, they sang Chinese, English, Japanese, and other versions of birthday songs together. Knowing Danson likes photography, he received expensive camera tools and he was very moved. But he hopes fans don't spend too much again.
